Coach's Corner
Head Coach
Gavin Oldham said, "In all honesty the first half was probably as poor as we have played all season. Even though we were 1-0 up at halftime we were sloppy and slow in possession. However, in the second half we started a lot better and made the most of a couple of early opportunities and that gave us the chance to make some changes and see the game out fairly comfortably."
Up Next
The Seahawks will host No. 17 St. Thomas University on Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. These two teams met last year in the Sun Conference Tournament Championship, with the Bobcats winning, 1-0.
